                                         Risk Assessment : Braden Score



                                Tell the patient / family / caregiver / MD the Braden score
                                 and what it means (Low Risk is still Risk!)

                                Advise the caregivers and patient “if they see something
                                 (skin breakdown / stage 1 ulcer etc) to say something” to the
                                 team because early identification of pressure related skin
                                 damage can be treated with prevention measures
                                The Stay healthy guide is a patient education tool available
                                 on the intranet that incorporates those interventions as
                                 a tool to use in your teaching and as a reference  for the
                                 patient and caregiver

                                Order equipment as needed
                                Bring all of VNSNY’s resources to the patient- PT/OT/ST/
